STROUDSBURG, Pennsylvania – April 1, 2010 - Stellar Technology Solutions,
www.stellartechsol.com, a leading provider of web-based philanthropic management software, today announced the release of its new online contribution facility, Giving Opportunities. The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona (CFSA)
www.cfsoaz.org introduced Giving Opportunities with the release of their iPhi DonorView® and WebManager® earlier this year. They are the first Stellar Client to launch this new community facing enhancement on their public web site. Giving Opportunities is available to all Stellar iPhi Product Suite clients.
Giving Opportunities is the latest release in the iPhi Product Suite which includes iPhi CoreEnterprise®, iPhi PrivateViews® and iPhi WebManager®. The Foundation has been using Stellar’s iPhi CoreEnterprise® platform to manage their back office operations since September, 2008. The iPhi DonorView provides CFSA’s donors a secure login facility to view their fund activity and balances in real time, change their profile, initiate contributions, research and recommend grants and track their giving and granting history.
Giving Opportunities allows both the general public and donors with established funds the ability to make credit card donations to specific causes. Users can either select an organization or specific cause highlighted by the Foundation, or search nonprofit organizations based on name, field of interest or geographic region. Donors with established funds at the Foundation have the option to make either a credit card donation, or to recommend a grant from their fund to the cause organization.
Established in 1980, the mission of the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona is to work with charitably minded individuals and organizations to strengthen southern Arizona communities, now and for generations to come. The Community Foundation holds more than 494 funds and manages more than $97 million in charitable assets.
Paul Lindsay, Board Chair of CFSA, “We are very excited about the new website launch, with DonorView and Giving Opportunities. One of our key goals is to connect potential contributors to the causes and organizations they care most about. Giving Opportunities allows any individual coming to our site direct access to the causes which he or she cares most about. Donors who already have established funds at the Foundation can use Giving Opportunities in addition to the ability to recommend grants from their own funds. In providing a direct online link to specific causes, we are bridging the information gap and better serving our community”.
John Coogan, Stellar’s Vice President, Business & Product Development, adds “We are pleased that the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona is the first client to launch this community giving capability. Giving Opportunities allows our clients to reach out into their community, making it easier for people to find and give to causes that will have a positive effect in their community. ”
